BP Worksheets & Editor Problem:

UMM (TMWGN090) “is targeted primarily at personnel knowledgeable in modelling methodology who facilitate business process analysis sessions and provide modelling support”

Goal of Worksheets/Editor: Facilitate an analysis approach that will be usable

to a greater community of people (e.g. business people)

Approach: A series of user friendly design aids to step a

person or team through the analysis process
